Ingredients
  

Beef and Veggie Base
  • 1.5 lb ground beef 90% lean
  • 1 large green bell pepper small dice
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
Philly Sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce original
  • 1 tsp garlic powder granulated
  • 0.5 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
Assembly
  • 4 slices provolone cheese sharp
  • 4 large brioche buns toasted

Equipment

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Sauté and Brown
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Push the vegetables to the side and add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  4. Brown the beef thoroughly until no pink remains, then drain any excess rendered fat from the pan.
Simmer and Melt
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
  2. Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and peppers, stirring constantly.
  3. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef in a glossy, rich glaze.
  4. Reduce heat to low and lay the provolone cheese slices over the meat mixture, covering with a lid for 1 minute until melted.
  5. Scoop the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted brioche buns and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure you drain the beef fat before adding the sauce to prevent the buns from getting soggy. Store leftover meat in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth.
